New wheat variety boosts yields by 40% under late sowing conditions.
The researchers studied how different wheat varieties, planting dates, and nutrient levels affected wheat growth and yield. They found that wheat variety HD-3090 planted on December 15th with a specific fertilizer level produced the highest grain yield. This was because this combination led to more tillers, productive tillers, and dry matter accumulation in the plants. Overall, planting wheat earlier and using the right nutrients can significantly increase grain yield in late-sown, irrigated conditions.
